At this time I will no longer be taking any new review requests or participating in any memes. There will still be author interviews, blasts, guest posts and occasionally reviews posted (as I climb through by TBR pile!!). Life is kind of hectic and I have to focus on a few other commitments before coming back full-time to my blog. Thank you to everyone that has supported me and I won't be gone forever. I will still be around on my social media sites!

One wall divides life from darkness. After the worldwide Blackout, America built a concrete wall—the Frontier—across the middle of the nation to isolate its precious electricity in the top half. Everyone below the Frontier was forsaken, and now only a few survive in the grim region known as the Dark Zone.

Sixteen year old Phoenix Troublefield endures the dark with his girlfriend, Star Windsong. When America announces that it will trade electricity for immigrants, Phoenix and Star sacrifice themselves for the power that might save her younger brother. On the other side of the Frontier, they find America is not what they expected, and instead they are thrown into a shocking and deeply personal contest that threatens to destroy their love. When the chance comes to escape back into the Dark Zone, it may already be too late.

Madeleine Henry was born and raised in New York. This spring, she
graduated from Yale University and began her adult life in New York
City.

Madeleine majored in psychology and
wrote her senior essay on the extreme popularity of the Twilight book
series. In college, she also ran a marathon and had a brief but
enthusiastic stint as a stand-up comedienne.

BLACKOUT
is Madeleine's first book. Parts of the story are drawn from two weeks
she spent foraging for food and water in desert Utah while enrolled in a
survival skills field course. She has since recovered.
